Wew, my head was spinning from that Cigar last night (first one since last summer...I wasn't ready). So I laid down and passed out for a bit. @CGoody564 tried to make a live chat, but you can't make them from the phone...hence the hack job.

Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction OVERTURNED | May 14, 2026 |
The National Desk | Runtime 1 min
The South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned the murder conviction of Alex Murdaugh and ordered a new trial due to the "egregious" and "unprecedented" jury interference of Clerk of Court Becky Hill during his much-publicized 2023 double murder trial.
In an unanimous opinion issued Wednesday, the Court stated that Hill engaged in "shocking jury interference" outside of the knowledge of the "outstanding" trial judge and "superbly competent and professional counsel" for the State and Murdaugh during the high-profile double murder trial of the prominent Hampton attorney.
